Out of interest, how would you implement this? Does it require a generics
feature that's slated for Swift 4? I tried two approaches that don't compile in
a current Swift 3.1 snapshot (and I'm getting a segfault with both examples in
a dev snapshot from 2017-02-14):
1)
extension Dictionary {
// error: same-type constraint 'Value' == '[S.Iterator.Element]' is
recursive
init<S: Sequence>(values: S, groupedBy: (S.Iterator.Element) -> Key)
where Value == [S.Iterator.Element] {
...
}
}
}
2)
// error: reference to generic type 'Array' requires arguments in <...>
extension Dictionary where Value == Array {
init<S: Sequence>(values: S, groupedBy: (S.Iterator.Element) -> Key)
where S.Iterator.Element == Value.Element {
...
}
}
}
